A day boat on the aqueduct

A day boat on the aqueduct
The aqueduct was designed by civil engineer Thomas Telford for the Ellesmere Canal. The resident engineer was M. Davidson who also acted as resident engineer on a number of Telford's other works. The foundation stone was laid on 17 June 1796 and it was completed in 1801. This is an amazingly short time. It has taken our local town council 2 years already to 'improve' the roads around the local station.

The viaduct was designed by Henry Robertson, chief engineer of the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, to carry the railway line across the meadows of the Vale of Ceiriog between Chirk and Chirk Bank partly in both Wales and England. The England–Wales border bisects the structure at an approximately 45° angle from south-west to north-east. It was built between 1846 and 1848, by Thomas Brassey, with it also undergoing a partial rebuilding in 1858–1859.

A fine shot of the wonderful aqueduct Amelia. I have walked across here a couple of times myself thinking it must be a bit unnerving on those boats here. Best staying inside if you suffer from acrophobia I suppose.

Cheers and thanks for pointing our my Rannoch Moor misspelling. Corrected now. Herb

That's the way to travel! It looks remarkably similar to the aqueduct on the Lower Peak Forest Canal at Marple, with the railway viaduct alongside
